When will it be Fall?

I know that it isn’t going to be fall for weeks yet. I know
that we are still at summer’s mercy. I know that I shouldn’t complain, and all,
but it’s just ridiculous. It’s hot and miserable, and I’m not a fan of either
condition. Add to it the fact that my actual favorite season—fall—has a tendency
to get lost in the holidays and craziness, and now it’s going to start being
fall with 100 degree weather (if things don’t settle down quickly). It's like summer is expanding.

Going into this weekend, it is going to be abnormally hot
every day for the big weekend. In most cases, it will be within a degree or two
of record breaking.

Meanwhile, in Texas, Honduras, and Nepal, they’re having
record setting floods. These are, undoubtedly horrible disasters, and their magnitude far eclipses my inconveniencing (though we'll be in the danger zone) heatwave.

I'm just ready for fall.

Conclusion: When it comes to weather, record setting should
not be a thing.

Yes. I'll swap. I like the damp and the cold. That's not where I live. It'll be 115 here today, tomorrow and Monday. Our county had to open cooling stations where people can be in air conditioned rooms. No joke.
